The Landlord And His Wife - Chapter 151
I ran into the house and went to my brother’s closet. I chose a few clean clothes that I wore less, and brought them over to exchange for Willow.
Shao Huai was changing clothes in his own room, Shao Rong could only lead the willow tree to her and her sister’s room, put the clothes on the edge of the kang and said: “Wait for a while, I’ll see To see if the water has boiled, wipe it and change it.”
Willow nodded, he was usually very attentive, and immediately heard that Shao Rong was suddenly polite and respectful to him, it was obvious that what had just happened made her a little unfamiliar with herself. It used to be one of the owners of the small shop next door, but now suddenly it seems to be the real owner, not only from a workshop, but also the eldest brother-in-law of the young owner of the restaurant in the county town.
Seeing that Shao Rong didn’t look at himself from entering the door, lowered his head and bit his lip, and turned around to go out after speaking, Liu Shu hurriedly said with a smile: “Sister Shao Rong, wait a moment. You can still call me Brother Willow, we are also country people, please don’t be polite to me, so I will not feel comfortable.”
Shao Rong has always been very uncomfortable, after hearing this, he lowered his head for a long time, then raised his head to look at him and said: “Liu Shu, my brother and I did not expect… Anyway, today’s Thank you so much for you and Xu’er, we… I really don’t know how to thank you. “
“Look, I told you to be polite, why are you even more polite?” Liu Shu smiled and said, “Really don’t do this, what happened in the past, and what will happen in the future.”
Shao Rong smiled, nodded, and went out. After a while, he brought water to Willow and closed the door.
Willow was too embarrassed to scrub in the house of the two girls, and took off the clothes that could not be worn in the mud soup outside, washed her hands first, rolled up her trousers and washed it After washing his legs, he put down his trousers and put on Shao Huai’s clothes.
Shao Huai is a little shorter than Willow, the clothes can be put on, but the sleeves are a little shorter, but fortunately they are all short dresses, Willow rolls the sleeves directly on the arm, and comes out with water .
Shao Rong was waiting at the door. When he saw him coming out with water, he hurried to pick it up. Willow smiled: “I’ll pour it, you’re welcome.” Splashed it under the big tree at the gate of the courtyard, and then gave her the empty pot.
Liu Xuer was standing and waiting in the courtyard, and there were people changing clothes in both rooms. She could only wait in the courtyard. Shao Gui brought a bench and placed it in the courtyard. Ask her to sit down. Again asked what happened.
Liu Xuer said briefly, just as she was talking, Shao Huai had already come out, and asked Shao Gui to go to the room to clean up, so that the guests could come in and sit. Liu Xuer waved her hand: “No, it’s still cool here on a hot day.”
Shao Huai hurried to serve the table, also called Shao Gui to serve water or something.
Liu Xuer saw the willow coming, just as Shao Rong went to the kitchen to put the basin, so she whispered: “Brother, should we ask about his family and Lizheng? People’s family affairs… Let’s Is it appropriate to ask?” Everyone has privacy, and they may not want to tell you.
Willow also sat down and said, “The problem is that you can’t ask now, right? They can’t solve it by themselves, they are too bullying…”
The brothers and sisters said this, Shao Huai had already come out with the table in front of them, and had to go to work, Liu Shu grabbed it and said: “Don’t be busy, sit down and sit down. … Today’s matter, if you trust us, we are also willing to help, what do you think?”
Shao Huai stopped, lowered his head for a long time, then raised his head and said: “You have already helped a lot today, otherwise we will all enter the yamen…” He finally sat down and sighed. : “I knew there would be such a day, but I kept thinking in my heart that the pond can be used for one more day…”
Shao Gui brought the water and sat on the other side, but Shao Rong was gone. Shao Huai turned his head and looked, but he didn’t see her, so he said to Liu Shu and Liu Xu’er: “Our family and Lizheng… can’t do anything, Lizheng knows that I only have this ability, even if it is to do with my flowers. Well, I can’t do it either.”
Willow said: “What’s going on in your house and Lizheng? If you are willing to tell us…”
Shao Huai said ‘blindly’: “What can’t you say, you have helped a lot today…” Having said this, he turned to look at Shao Gui, who also stood up , murmured, “I’m going…to cook.” He also left.
The willow tree was a little puzzled, but the catkins vaguely guessed it.
Shao Huai saw that the two younger sisters were no longer in front of him, so he said: “This is not a thing in our village! I went to him the year before last and wanted this pond, but I didn’t hold too much at that time. Great hope, I don’t think he will be able to agree. Who would have thought that he would agree so happily at that time, and he said it so nicely that he told me to just use it. He also said that our family was in trouble, and he didn’t help much… At that time, I It feels a little weird.”
He sighed when he said this: “At that time, I was all thinking about planting flowers, but I didn’t think about it carefully and planted flowers. Last year, I didn’t say anything. I didn’t submit the rent, and I often asked how the flower planting was going. I didn’t think about it, but I didn’t expect his son to come to my house during the Chinese New Year last year, and I only knew why.”
“Why?” Willow couldn’t help but ask.
Shao Huai said angrily: “His youngest son has a crush on my sister Shao Rong…” When he said this, his anger rose, and his face flushed with anger: “His youngest son is in his twenties. Five! My daughter-in-law died last year and gave birth to two babies… I didn’t react at the time. I thought it was after the death of his daughter-in-law that he had this idea, so I don’t want to! Shao Rong is only fifteen! I rejected it right away. Lizheng’s youngest son said something to tell me to think about it, and I will live in the village in the future! I didn’t pay attention to it…”
Because of anger, what he said was a little out of line, Liu Shu and Catkin are careful people, and they didn’t interrupt, waiting for him to finish.
“Who knew that I heard from an old grandmother in the village that when he gave me the pond the year before last, Lizheng’s family was already moved! At that time, Lizheng’s young daughter-in-law was ill Seriously, people aren’t dead yet! Li Zheng’s youngest son has already started looking for suitable girls in the village, so he fell in love with Shao Rong… I’m so **** off…”
Willow and Catkin looked at each other in surprise. Liu Xuer thought to herself, Shao Rong was only twelve years old at that time, the youngest son here… This is not a **** thing, I really think about the old cow eating the tender grass!
Liu Shu is also thinking, Shao Rong is indeed handsome, better than her elder sister’s face and body, otherwise, even if Lizheng’s youngest son chooses the Shao family, Shao Gui’s age is suitable Ah… but the little son here is really not a thing!
Both brothers and sisters scolded the shameless young son Lizheng for a while, and they all came to a realization. No wonder Shao Rong hid now.
“Because of this, Lizheng has been bothering me a lot this year, and I have been holding it back. Thinking that this winter is coming, I will clean up the pond and return it to him, so I won’t need it in the future.”
Willow thought of another thing: “That piece of land on the side of the mountain is not yours, right? It turned out to be a wasteland?”
As soon as he was reminded, Shao Huai’s face changed and he nodded: “It’s a wasteland, after I drove it out, I kept thinking about going to Lizheng to register it, this is not… I didn’t have enough money in the first two years, If you want to save enough money, go.” He panicked, stood up and said, “What can I do? If you don’t give me that land…”
Liu Xuer sneered: “It’s still light if I don’t give it to you, I’m afraid that my heart will be very bad, thinking about the same treatment as the pond, and silently giving it to others! With the idea of occupying your flowers, he got the land by himself, and went through the formalities without telling you. At that time, your land and flowers became his own, and you had no reason to reason. go!”
When Liu Xuer said this, Shao Huai was in a hurry and circled in the courtyard: “I have to think of a way… What can I do!”
The willow said: “Don’t worry, even if it was the idea of before, it should not be done now, at least not immediately, he must still be thinking about the pond now. What should I do about that…” He paused here and said to Shao Huai, “Shao Huai, if the pond thing is really torn up, you may not be able to occupy all the reason, because the pond is not Yours, you are also in vain.”
Shao Huai nodded: “I know that, but they… they shouldn’t ruin my flowers. If I say it well, I will definitely make room for them!”
The willow tree told him to sit down, walked around looking dizzy, and had no way to turn around: “Yes, according to reason, I should tell you. But you can stand on the side of the shopkeeper Wei. Thinking about it, he gave Li a rent, and of course he wanted the pond. The things in the pond were not raised there properly and legally. He asked someone to tell you and tell you to take away everything that is safe. It’s his reason for being a man. But if he doesn’t bother to talk about it, he will destroy things arrogantly and unreasonably, then it can only be said that he can’t be a man… or that he doesn’t take the country people seriously and doesn’t care about the country people. No matter how you scold him… You can only say that he can’t be a man and is unreasonable, but if you really want to consider it illegal or not… In front of the law, maybe you can’t stand up, the law is on his side! “
When he said these words, Shao Rong and Shao Gui had already come over, and they both saw that the reason had been said before, so there was no need to avoid it, and the sisters were also worried about today’s I want to hear how they discussed it.
After listening to Liu Shu’s words, Shao Rong nodded. Shao Huai paused for a while before saying: “Then I’ll find Lizheng! Speaking of this, Li is rightly wrong, saying that I used the pond for nothing… The pond is not his own! Why did he take shopkeeper Wei in private? Money? Treat that pond as his own, and even make a fool of himself!”
Willow waved his hand: “That’s even more irrelevant… Today, Mr. Wei said it, he paid the rent? Obviously he also knows that the pond is not Lizheng’s own, but Lizheng earns money from it. The money is gone, and the person will be harassed. But he will never say it. Why should he help you? Let alone Lizheng, even if it is not Lizheng’s own, it is not yours. You must stand up to this principle, but Not so bold.”
Liu Xuer nodded and said: “Yes, there is one more point, the pond is in the village, and if you are asked to hand over the rent for the previous three years, he said that he will give it to the villagers. If you think about it, is it fair for him to say that? Maybe the villagers will be on his side at that time! At that time, not only can you not ask him to pay for your flowers, but instead And give him money!”
What Liu Xuer said was to attack Shao Huai. Shao Huai was helpless when she was attacked. She was angry, anxious and helpless. She sat down and her voice was a little choked: ” I’m really useless…”
Shao Gui also lowered his head and wiped his tears, only Shao Rong held back, but bit his lower lip.
Liu Shu and Liu Xuer are honest people. Seeing that this family is so difficult, there is no way they can be bullied.
